After updating to tonight WIP [8.0.23185.16306, 2023-07-04]
When moving the GH Canvas, there is a [new] flickering affect that is very unpleasant for the eyes.
One would get an headache very quickly…
Or is it just a glitch on my [new] machine?
It very much looks like a new Metal bug…?
thanks a lot
Akash
What does the SystemInfo for this machine look like, and what are the steps to reproduce the problem?
FWIW, on my Intel/AMD MBP, I’m not seeing any flickering on the GH canvas.
Hi @John_Brock
[Yes I wouldn’t expect it to show on an intel Machine.]
Since posting, Iv’e updated to the [secondary] WIP build came out this morning : 8.0.23186
The issue seems a little bit less pronounced on it then last night build, but it still significantly there. Better described as the visual affect of the components on the canvas becoming blurred [and a bit flickering too] when panning the canvas.

Hi
to update: upon farther observations, the flickering while panning happens only once the definition gets to be a little larger. [if there are only a few components, then panning is smooth]
The redraw speed seems to be ok with this number of components… but it still flickers while panning.
Is this an expected behavior ?
thanks a lot
